 Actually, time passes MORE quickly at the satellite.  "Chronotropy" is
a canard.  The rate of the satellite clock is set to run slow so that
it is observed to run at the proper rate on the earth.  The reason why
the satellite must be updated is because (1) the satellite is not in an
exactly circular orbit and (2) the earth does not have a uniform
density.
 Someone (I'm not naming any names) needs to do some studying.

This is a very interesting post.
It asks a question: "How is it that the satellite, which apparently goes faster than the earth, has a time that passes faster, contrary to what SR predicts?"
We answer it as we can, today, the answer is that it seems that apparently, gravitation slows down time.
Since Richard Hachel is not too interested in GR, he does not believe in it too much. The other two arguments that you have just proposed do not seem any more judicious to me.
I have a fourth explanation, and it remains within the framework of RR.
